Text Editor For Mac Show Line Endings List
Hi,
Is it possible to make it easier to detect the current document’s line-ending format & Encoding method ?
As, an example, with this little notepad replacement, notepad2, it’s very easy with these menu options :
File / Encoding…
File / Line Endings…notepad2 here : http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
It would be great if EmEditor has these 2 tiny options too. :-)
That info is displayed in the status bar, bottom right-hand corner.
Western-European = ISO 8859-1, e.g. English ANSI
IF you choose Save-As you can change the Encoding from there.
Or File|Reload
Lets you change to UTF-8, or UTF-16LE (you can also do UTF-BE, but windows uses UTF-16LE) among other encodings.If you do so, you will see the information in the status bar change.
As well if it is a standard windows file you’ll see CR+LF in the bottom right of the Status Bar.
You can also change the “Return Method” in the Save-As dialog.
Tools | Customize
[Status]
…
[√] Return MethodIf it is an “English” Ansi file, it will display Western EUropean.
If it is unicode, you’ll see UTF-8 , or UTF-16LE, etc.
Personally, I’d prefer to just see ANSI, but EmEditor is used all over the world and it makes sense that it will show the actual ‘codepage’, though customizable in that aspect would be good.
Just save a file in one of the UTF formats during Save-As, or File|Reencode, and you’ll see that.
